sure
that
the
coupling knob has been tightened firmly.

or

foot.
To‘
change the
foot,
see
page 5.
∙
Always place material under the
foot
and

the
foot
before running athreaded machine.
Straight Sewing forwards
1Set the stitch selector
as
indicated.
2Set the
stitch
length
dial
at
between 1and 2, depending
on
the length required (up
to
2).
To start sewing, lower
the
needle into the material and hold
back the
two
threads by hand
while
sewing the
first
two
or
three stitches.
3You
will
then sew astraight
seam
with
stitches 1
to
2
mm
long,
but
you
can
also
sew
stitches between 2and 4
mm
long
by turning the
dial
to
the corresponding figures
—
and
depending
on
the
work
and
on
the fabric.
To
sew
4Guide the material only
with
your
fingers, along the side
of
the
foot,
without
holding
it
back (Do
not
pull the
material
from
the rear).
At
the
same
time, carefully observe
the
seam.
You
can
thus
keep
an
eye
on
your
sewing and avoid
the
risk
of
pricking
your
fingers accidentally.
Keeping the Seam Straight
5To keep the
seam
straight,
use
one
of the guidelines marked
at
intervals of 5
mm
on
the needle plate. The numbers
indicate the distances in
millimetres
from
the straight
seam
at
the
centre
needle position. For
even
better
control
of
the
fabric,
it
is advisable
to
fit
the
cloth
guide with the
thumb
screw
on
the
machine,
as
illustrated.
Straight Sewing backwards
6For sewing backwards, push the
reverse
button
as
far
as
it
will
go. This is often used
at
the
beginning and end
of
a
seam, when doing ordinary sewing,
to
fasten the ends
of
the
seam.
Removing the Work
7To
remove
the work,
first
turn
the flywheel by hand,
towards
you,
to
raise
the
thread take—up lever
to
its highest position.
This is essential
to
complete the stitch pattern. It is also
important because
it
ensures
that
the
next
seam
can
be
started easily. Raise
the
presser bar lever (foot). Pull the
material
out
towards the
rear
and
cut
the threads
with
the
thread
cutter
on
the presser bar.
